My CPU Frequency in BIOS is much higher than my CPU Frequency in CPUZ.

Hello.
Lately i've noticed that for some reason my CPU Frequency is 2.9GHz while it should be 3.3GHz.
My CPU is i5 3550.
I noticed this problem since a couple of months ago, and now i wanted to solve it.
So i opened my BIOS, i set my CPU Frequency to 3.5GHz (Because i can, so why not? :D) and i disabled everything that could harm my "OC", i mean every option that could underclock my CPU, And in my BIOS It says: CPU Frequency: 3493 MHz, but in CPUZ, HWMONITOR, Any program, it says 2893MHz. I also tried to enter a game and see if it goes up, but nothing.
Here are my PC Specs
As i said before, CPU i5 3550
Motherboard H77M D3H
Psu Corsair Gs600 600W
The temps are good, I have no idea what the problem could be.
If needed, i will attach images of my BIOS and the settings i changed.
Thanks.

Nevermind, I updated my BIOS and it worked like a charm.
3.7GHz :)
